Excerpt:
When it comes to picturesque shorelines, Virginia makes a strong showing. Some spots, like Assateague and Chincoteague, are well-known for their off-the-beaten-path sands (and the wild ponies that roam them), while other beaches are tucked along the edges of the commonwealth’s cities and small towns. Places like Norfolk and Virginia Beach have plenty of places to play in the surf, cast a line, and take in the views. In addition, you can usually find a kayak rental or a water tour nearby. If exploration is the name of the game, hiking, camping, and fishing opportunities are also bountiful near many of Virginia’s beaches. Whether you’re dipping your toes into the Atlantic’s ocean waters or frolicking in the bays that curve along the coasts, you’ll be glad you made a visit to Virginia’s best beaches.
